Wuhan women's football team has no bench players, all heroes!

[8 players participated in the East Asia Cup with the national team, and "half the team" still won the championship]

　　□ Changjiang Daily reporter Ma Wanyong

　　On July 24, the Wuhan Women's Football Team defeated the Beijing Women's Football Team 3-0 to win the FA Cup for the first time. In the Kunming Haigeng Base, the smiling faces and cheers of the Wuhan Women's Football Team were once again left. When the captain Han Peng held the glittering championship trophy high. When over the head, many girls laughed and burst into tears...

　　On the return bus, Chang Weiwei, the head coach of Wuhan Chegujiang University women's football team, got a call from a reporter from Changjiang Daily.

Speaking of the experience of winning the FA Cup in the past two weeks, the middle-aged man who is used to seeing strong winds and waves could not help but choked up, "It's too difficult, even the head coach like me can't even think about it, we finally won Champion. I really want to thank these players for their hard work and dedication, each of them is a real warrior, a real hero!"

　　■ The "big national football player" is left with "half detachment"

　　On May 14, Wuhan Chegujiang University Women's Football Team defeated Shaanxi Chang'an Athletic Women's Football Team 1:0 in the 10th round of the Women's Super League, winning a "ten winning streak".

Five days later, the second phase of the Chinese women's football training camp in 2022 blew the "Assembly Number" in Haikou, and 10 players from the league's "leader" Wuhan Chegujiang University Women's Football Club were selected, becoming the largest player in international football.

　　This season, Qin Manman, Chen Beibei and many other players have joined the Wuhan Women’s Second Club’s Three Towns Martial Arts Women’s Football Team. Therefore, in the league registration list in early April, Wuhan Chegujiang University Women’s Football Team has only 24 players, and they will be the national team. After sending 10 players, there are only 14 players left in the Wuhan Women's Football Association Cup lineup.

　　According to the latest regulations of FIFA after the epidemic, each team can register 18 players for each game, and 5 players can be replaced during the game.

In other words, the Wuhan women's football team at that time could not meet the minimum standards for a normal game, whether it was the number of applicants or the number of substitutes.

　　Yes!

On July 1, when Chang Weiwei took these 14 players on a flight to Kunming, he was not thinking about winning the championship, but how to successfully complete the FA Cup competition and try not to reproduce the women's football at the beginning of the year. The embarrassment of "three outs" in the championship.

　　A week later, a piece of "good news" came that Ma Jun and Zhai Qingwei were not selected for the final list of the Chinese women's football team for the East Asia Cup, and the two flew from Haikou to Kunming non-stop.

So two days before the start of the FA Cup, the Wuhan women's football team increased from 14 to 16.

Despite this, they are still the team with the smallest number of people in the Haigeng Base, and even some familiar coaches joked with Chang Weiwei, "You coaching staff plus the working team (team doctor, team affairs, translation, etc.) More!"

　　■ They rely on determination, fighting spirit and courage to take responsibility

　　Finally, this "missing major general" Wuhan women's team made an incredible performance and embarked on the 2022 Chinese Football Association Cup Women's Football Final, and this time they encountered the Beijing Women's Football Team again.

　　The girls of the Wuhan Women's Football Team didn't give their opponents another chance to fight back.

Zhu Hongguo hit a long-range shot in stoppage time in the first half, and Temwa scored twice in the second half. Wuhan Women's Football Team defeated Beijing Women's Football Team cleanly 3-0 and won the first FA Cup championship in team history.

　　After the team won the championship, even the team's head coach Chang Wei Wei felt incredible.

"This is probably the most incredible championship in my coaching career. In the plateau environment of Kunming, playing 6 games in 14 days is an extreme challenge for the players' bodies, and our current situation is that every game There are only one or two people who can rotate normally in the game, which is an unimaginable physical challenge to the players.”

　　I have to say that the Wuhan Women's Football Team has risen in the past two years and won the Women's Super League championship.

However, winning the FA Cup this time fully demonstrated that the Wuhan Women's Football Team is a team that can stand the test and is full of determination and fighting spirit.

As the head coach Chang Weiwei said, there is no one in this team who is "reckless". When eight international players including Wang Shuang, Yao Wei, Liu Yanqiu, Wu Haiyan, Zhang Linyan, Lou Jiahui, Wang Xiaoxue and Yao Lingwei left, the rest One of the 16 Wuhan female football players, including the two backup goalkeepers, all wore armor and fought hard in the brutal schedule.

　　From losing 1:2 in the first game, to 2:1, 4:0, 6:1, 8:1 later, until 3:0 in the final to defeat the Beijing Women's Football Team, which had defeated itself, the Wuhan Women's Football Team became more and more brave.

Those players who rarely played in the Women's Super League have been honed and grown in the test of the FA Cup.

In the battle against Henan, Deng Mengye made a great contribution with a header; in the battle against Shanghai, Zhu Hongguo scored a long-range goal; in the battle against Shandong, Jiang Chenjing scored twice, and even the second goalkeeper Chen Chen forced his opponent to make an own goal in the sports battle.

　　Therefore, it is difficult to explain this championship with purely technical and tactical reasons. It can only rely on determination, fighting spirit, courage, responsibility...
